Hi all! I have Samba 4.0.0alpha17 installed, running as a PDC for my small home network. Everything works great, but I'm noticing something odd. When a user creates a file, it's created with a non-existent owner on the filesystem. The group is OK.
The problem is that when I set ACL's from a Windows computer, the files with that owner can't be changed (i.e., Windows gives a 'retry/continue/cancel" dialog). If I change those files to root:users, I can set ACL's on them all day long. I've searched all over and can't find out any clues as to why this is happening, or how to correct it. My questions: - What underlying filesystem permissions, owner and group should I set for files/directories in a Samba share? - Should I/Can I force the owner/group and permissions on newly created files? - Why are new files created with a non-existent user in the first place? My installation: - Ubuntu 11.10 (server) - Underlying filesystem is a mix of EXT3 and EXT4 (EXT3 FS has xattrs enabled and working) - Not using UNIX users; the users are all in the internal Samba database - Samba runs as root - My smb.conf file is using a bare minimum of options; just enough to define shares and set some service information Thanks for your help.
